I received an MFT/3 on Friday and set it up this weekend. When it was all set up, I had 2 parts left over as seen in the pictures. Does anyone know where these are from and where they should go?
found those parts as well when I set up my mft/3. I believe you will find they are part of the support that holds the guide rail to the table. Not the swing side but the guide side. I don't remember for sure but i think that is where it went
I found the same parts when I ordered the fence. And I thought I found the first mistake from Festool. I tried to insert the bolt from the wrong side and the knob could not catch the thread. One side has a round hole (knob side) and the other a square to fix the bolt. After some time I was about to call Festool for help. I used the manual for the phone number and by pure luck my eye fell on the image of the assembly of this knob.
As a mechanical engineer you can be too clever for simple things. But I felt stupid anyway.
